Swing Faults At Impact – Being Too Square with the Shoulders
I did go out to the range the other day and took a small video. Although I was hitting the ball fairly good, my impact position was too sqaure.
Here’s my impact position compared to Ben Crane and Adam Baddeley:
If you look carefully, both of these guys have their shoulder slightly open.
Now, what I’ve found out is that, I tend to get my lower body too close to the ball near the impact, causing me to hold on to my release, thereby causing an open shoulders and also annoying hooks once in a while since I have to “flip” my wrists slightly after impact.
But the most interesting thing I found was in my practice swing. As you can see, this is a snapshot of my practice swing impact position. The shoulders are slightly open and the hands are exactly where I want them.
Next time, I will try to stand a little taller during the swing and that should help me fix the kink.
Darn, if I could only swing like my practice swings…
